Anyone see a chicken with their toes lifting upward and having trouble walking? My 11 week old cockerel started this a few days ago. He is hardly eating or drinking.
I moved 10 week old chicks from the brooder to the grow-out. They were inside because it had been in the triple digits so too hot to transition them. The temps dropped into the upper 80s - 90s so I moved them outside. They were all fine before I moved them outside. One of my cockerels seemed...
I have a rooster who has made noises that sound like hiccups. I know chickens don't have diaphragms and therefore, can't hiccup. That is what it sounds like. He has been doing this for almost 2 weeks. No other symptoms that I have noticed. I went ahead and gave him Denegard for a week. He...

I had a bottle of LA-200 that I opened last year. It doesn't expire until next month. I drew up a dose today and the liquid looked like black ink! Is it normal for it to go bad and turn black before the expiration?

My vet prescribed IVM to treat my flock for roundworms. I have treated them several times over the last 7 months and I can't get rid of the roundworms. I just treated a few days ago for the 2nd round after 10 days treating 1st round. What else can I do? I have 17 birds of varying sizes and...
Chickens are easy they say! Not!
Never had chickens before. I bought my first flock of 6 hens almost 3 months ago. Two Brahmas, two EEs, one Orphington, and one Sussex. I was told that they were 16 months old. They were all in the same huge run. I put them in a 5 x 10 coop/run combo. The...
